One of the recent changes in CVS Gnus makes that
sha1-maximum-internal-length is not defined after starting Gnus.
When I try to send out a message to a news group, I get the error
message "sha1: Symbol's value as variable is void:
sha1-maximum-internal-length". After setting/defining the variable to
the default value 500, sending out news works as before.
Thanks, Adrian

Can you post a backtrace? The variable is defined in sha1-el.el,
which is supposed to be autoloaded by canlock.el, etc. You are
loading gnus-load from .emacs, right?

Probably, it is because sha1-maximum-internal-length is bound to
nil in the message-canlock-generate function when sha1-el.el is
autoloaded. I've fixed it in CVS.

That solved the problem for me. Thanks for the prompt fix!
BTW and always on search of a sane configuration for my system: do you
think I have some special/wrong configuration, as nobody else on the
list claimed having had the sha-el problem?
Thanks, Adrian.

Thanks for the confirmation.

You are not wrong. There won't be those who have set the
canlock-password variable in advance. Since it is required for
posting, canceling and superseding news articles, Gnus will
generate and save the value automatically using sha1-el only at
the first time. The problem arises just at that time. However,
people will forget it wholly, since it does not occur in the
second time. :)
